FIFA to award Donald Trump a ‘peace prize’

As billions of fans around the world tune in to watch the World Cup draw on Friday, they’ll also have the opportunity to watch FIFA President Gianni Infantino present a new, somewhat puzzling, award.

Axar.az informs, citing CNN, World soccer’s governing body announced in November that this year will see the introduction of the FIFA Peace Prize – a new annual accolade given to someone who FIFA says has taken “exceptional and extraordinary actions for peace and by doing so have united people across the world.”

FIFA says the award will be presented on behalf of more than 5 billion soccer fans worldwide, but how the winner is chosen isn’t exactly clear.

And, perhaps most notably, President Donald Trump is widely rumored to be the recipient of the inaugural prize.

The new prize will be awarded after the World Cup draw takes place on December 5. The ceremony for the award will also take place in the same venue as the draw: the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC.

Trump now sits as the Board Chair of the Kennedy Center after an overhaul of the previous leadership group.
